I went up to the Coolidge Benchmark on Sunday just east of desert shores......attained the North Saddle at 600ft. only a mile from the 86 expressway and bam! 7 bighorn sheep right there.....4 big bucks, a young buck and 2 does. Peakbagger.com lists this as a 4/10 coolness rating but the bighorns deserve a 10 I think.

I posted routes to two of Mount Shasta's waterfalls. These routes, particularly the Brewer Creek Trail connect to popular routes to the mountain's summit but both are good (Whitney Falls) to great (Brewer Creek) hikes on their own.
